Feeling so slow!

I gave birth vaginally almost 3 weeks ago and I still feel like I’m moving how I did at 40 weeks pregnant. I feel heavy and slow and honestly, I don’t feel my stitches at all so it’s not that.
Might just be my leg muscles but I’m like a damn sloth when I walk. Is anyone else feeling just so slow or is it just me😭I don’t know what’s causing it!

I don’t feel thaaat slow but my hips are still feeling very wide and I’m sick and tired of waddling. No idea how long that’s supposed to last.
Sorry you’re still feeling slow and slothy ☹️

don't worry! I felt the same way at 3 weeks. Your body just went through something exhausting! Give your body time to heal. Rest as much as you can with your little one. Don't be in a rush to go back to normal. Your body knows what it needs and it'll take a few more weeks to slowly go back to your old self. 😊

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
